Only then could he flip the story in Gu Jin's favor.
Now, as his plan reached its final stage, he thought of her again. He whispered to himself,
"Gu Jin… you will no longer need to hide. You will no longer need to fear using your power. Necromancy will not be cursed. It will be respected."
He leaned back in his chair, remembering the steps he had taken.
He had gathered proofs showing how Gu Jin used her skeleton warriors not for destruction, but to save lives in Fujio City. He had spoken to survivors secretly, asking them to tell their stories and defend her name.
He had arranged debates, articles, and rumors that questioned the so-called danger of necromancy.
After returning to her room, Gu Jin walked calmly toward her bed. Her face was calm, as if the burning of Long Yifan's clothes had not shaken her at all.
She sat cross-legged and started her cultivation again.
Hours passed, and she felt the steady rhythm of mana flowing through her veins.
